Comment on Every single time I think of restructuring my homelab storage. What do you use for storage engines and how does it benefit you?

I just use mergerfs and SnapRAID so I can scale dynamically when I can afford new drives. Granted it’s all fully replaceable media files on my end, so I’m not obsessed with data integrity.

Well, this path seems to be the most appropriate for what I am for.

And more to that, both mergerfs and snapraid are available out of the box in the latest stable Debian release.

Thanks for pointing me at it!

  This is what I’m doing as well. The nice thing about it is that it supports different sized drives in the same mergerfs mount and with snapraid, you just need to make sure one of your biggest drives is the parity drive. I’ve got 10 drives right now with 78TB usable in the mergerfs mount and two 14TB drives acting as parity. I’ve been able to build it up over the years and add slowly.
